1. Extract liquid water

   A burst supply connection may flood the space under a refrigerator. The crew clears pooled water from the kitchen and identifies other rooms touched by the flow.

2. Trace the wet layers

   Finished hardwood may be dry on top while the underside stays wet. Separate readings from the boards and substrate shape the drying approach.

3. Remove what cannot dry

   Soaked cabinet backing may block airflow to the wall cavity. The crew removes unsalvageable material when needed so the remaining structure can dry.

4. Verify the dry-out

   Final checks include wall edges and floor seams that held water early in the loss. The technician records the dry-out before equipment is removed.
